What the difference between primary and secondary pollutants?
Primary pollutants are pollutants that enters the air directly from a source and Secondary pollutants are air pollutantsproduced by the reaction of a primary pollutant with some other pollutant
Where does smog come from?
Smog is caused by pollutants in the air. The source is often emissions from industrial plants and vehicles.
What is the difference between secondary and primary pollutants?
Some Primary pollutants are like when humans directly put them in the air Secondary pollutants are like when pollutants react with Primary and other Primary pollutants.
Is secondary pollutants more harmful than primary pollutants?
Primary air pollutants are emitted directly into atmosphere from a process such as exhaust from a engine, industries, volcanic eruption Secondary air pollution are formed in the air when primary pollutants interact.
What are the two types of pollutants?
Air pollution and CFCs Ai pollution as all the gasses are polluting all the air which can be causing breathing problems and health problems. CFCs as all the fuels and gasses are creating the CFCs to crash and the hole in the atmosphere is getting bigger by the minute.
Combustion as a source of energy can lead to formation of air pollutants like CO and NO and how can each of these pollutants form from the combustion of fuel?
There is carbon and nitrogen in fuel. Burning it with oxygen (incomplete) produces CO and NO.
What is a primary pollutant?
Primary polluters are air pollutants that come directly from a source. A volcanic eruption is an example of a primary pollutant.
Pollutants suchs as ozone or smog are what kind of pollutants?
they are Gaseous
How do winds affect air pollution?
Winds play a crucial role in dispersing air pollutants by mixing and diluting them within the atmosphere. Strong winds can carry pollutants away from their source, reducing concentrations in populated areas, while stagnant air can lead to the accumulation of pollutants, resulting in poor air quality. Additionally, winds can transport pollutants over long distances, affecting regions far from the original emission sources. Thus, wind patterns significantly influence the distribution and intensity of air pollution.
Only the positive things about nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is a very clean source of electricity. There are no pollutants put into the air, and it is very efficient.
Describe some characteristics of air pollutants that make them easier to stop at the source than clean up later?
unwanted,harmful and dirty
Where are the indoor air pollutants discharged in green buildings?
In green buildings, indoor air pollutants are often managed through advanced ventilation systems that help to dilute and exhaust contaminants. These pollutants can be discharged outside through mechanical ventilation systems, such as energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) or heat recovery ventilators (HRVs), which balance indoor air quality with energy efficiency. Additionally, the use of low-VOC materials and proper maintenance further minimizes the accumulation of pollutants, ensuring healthier indoor environments. Overall, the focus is on reducing pollutants at the source and efficiently removing them from the indoor air.
